The Final Subjugation

The entire Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School was thrown into alarm!

Teachers and students alike, whether they were on campus or Curse Users who used this place as a base of operations, all rushed out of the school buildings and dormitories that very second, heading toward the forest.

The fastest among them was naturally Fushiguro Megumi.

"Nue!"

The usually stoic youth wore a rare look of anxiety. As he sprinted toward the forest, he formed hand signs and summoned the shikigami bird from his own shadow.

Fushiguro Megumi's Nue looked exactly like Riezel's Nue: both were owls. But compared to Riezel's Nue, whose wingspan stretched at least four meters when fully spread, Fushiguro Megumi's Nue was much smaller—far too small to carry him into the sky.

Even so, Fushiguro Megumi had Nue extend its talons and seize his shoulders, carrying him up into the air.

"There's no way I'm mistaken..."

As he controlled Nue to race toward the scene at top speed, Fushiguro Megumi's expression turned extremely grim.

"Eight-Grasping Sword: Alien God General Mahoraga...!"

That monster, which no Ten Shadows Technique user in history had ever successfully subjugated, had actually been summoned!

"Damn it! If I'd known this would happen, I should've warned him!"

Fushiguro Megumi could not help regretting it.

He had known that Riezel possessed the ability to copy other people's cursed techniques and might very well learn the Ten Shadows Technique, yet he had not warned him beforehand. To Fushiguro Megumi, that was his failure.

It would have been fine if Gojo Satoru had been present. He knew how terrifying the final shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique was, and if he saw Riezel attempting to summon and subjugate it, he would definitely stop him. Yet Gojo Satoru had chosen this exact moment to leave Jujutsu High.
